Question

Jim runs a plant that produces cosmetics and uses a flexible manufacturing production process, while his brother Bill runs a plant that manufactures basic household appliances using a mass production system. The benefit Jim's plant has over Bill's plant is that Jim's plant ________.

Answer 1

Jim's plant can produce products with slight variations

Step-by-step explanation:

Jim runs a plant which uses a flexible manufacturing production process. This means that his products can offer some range of variations according to the suits or demands of customers, which will be especially helpful when there is a change in taste among customers.

Bill, however uses basic appliances and a mass production system. His products may therefore, suffer due to little variations between them in the case of a change in customers' preferences.
